Display a report in different view modes through URL API in MicroStrategy Web

The URL parameter report view mode in Microstartegy
  • visMode - the mode in which the document is displayed, e.g. 2 for Interactive
  • reportviewmode determines how reports are displayed in the view mode, e. g. 1 for grid mode.
&reportViewMode=1 (grid)
&reportViewMode=2 (graph)
&reportViewMode=3 (grid/graph) 
&visMode=0 (no visualization)
&visMode=51 (AJAX visualization)  <--- this and Flash (50) require that you setup a Custom Visualization in the report definition.&visMode=50 (Flash visualization). Make sure those modes are enabled in Document Properties.

 Other parameters in the URL API
  • Webserver - name or IP address of the webserver 
  • Evt - event/action to be performed, e.g. 2048001 for running a document 
  • Src - web page component to perform the event 
  • documentID - document object ID to be executed 
The parameter to pass an answer to an element list prompt: 
  • elementsPromptAnswers=AttrID;AttrID:ElemID^ElemName 
  • AttrID - object ID of the prompted attribute 
  • ElemID - element ID of the attribute element used as prompt answer 
  • ElemName - description of the attribute element used as prompt answer

The URL parameter reportviewmode determines how reports are displayed in the view mode through the URL API in MicroStrategy Web 10.x. The following examples illustrate the URL parameter reportviewmode and the corresponding view of the report that will display:

When reportviewmode is set to 1, the report is displayed in grid mode:

When reportviewmode is set to 2, the report is displayed in graph mode:

When reportviewmode is set to 3, the report is displayed in grid/graph mode:
In MicroStrategy Web URL API, there is a parameter Vismode when running a report or a Report Services document. This parameter stands for the visualization type it uses. 
50 stands for flash type visualization which includes the following visualizations:
  • Image Sample
  • Sparkline on Image
  • Product Revenue Analysis
  • Sales Dashboard
  • Media Visualization
  • TV Visualization
  • Simple Dashboard
  • Custom Product Analysis Scorecard
  • Auto Play with Line Series
  • Custom Color Coded Grid
  • Chart within Crosstab Grid Cells Visualization

  • Media
  • Microcharts
  • RSS Reader

51 stands for Ajax type visualization which includes the following visualizations:

0 means no visualization. Vismode is not necessary to include in URL when running a report or a Report Services document. The report will use the default view of visualization.

Microstrategy Dashboard performance improvements steps

Microstrategy  Dashboard performance improvements steps: Many times, causes of poor performance can be simplified to specific components. To troubleshoot performance issues, users must identify these components, then make the appropriate modifications to the environment and/or to the MicroStrategy dashboard to reduce bottlenecks. Dashboard execution stages can be represented below: MicroStrategy Intelligence Server When an end user makes a  Document Execution Request  through any client (a web browser via MicroStrategy Web, the MicroStrategy Desktop/Developer client, the MicroStrategy Mobile app, or the MicroStrategy Office client), the request is sent to the MicroStrategy Intelligence Server, which processes the request and prepares the response. The MicroStrategy Intelligence Server will execute all children datasets on the dashboard by either generating SQL and running this against the data warehouse, or by fetching data from a cache. The Inte...
